The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A film director who hates commercial cinema is forced to work with cynical producers and a spoiled famous actor. After a scene, he pulls out a gun and shoots the actor in front of the crew, starting a manhunt that ends in a western village near Rome.

What happens

La notte dell'ultimo giorno è un film italiano del 1973 diretto da Adimaro Sala. Il regista Beppe Banti sta iniziando le riprese del suo nuovo film "La fiammata". Ben lontano dalle logiche del cinema commerciale che anzi disprezza apertamente, l'uomo deve fare comunque i conti con produttori cinici ed attori viziati. Alla fine di una scena girata con Sergio Varzi, un grosso nome che la distribuzione ha preteso nel film, Banti tira fuori una pistola e lo fredda davanti a tutta la troupe. Inizia così una caccia all'uomo che si concluderà in un villaggio western alle porte di Roma. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
